We want to thank you for your continued support in ensuring our students are ready and prepared to begin their day on time. As a reminder, the school day begins promptly at 8:10 AM. Students arriving after the tardy bell rings at 8:10 AM will be marked tardy.
Additionally, any student arriving after 8:30 AM must be accompanied into the building by a parent or guardian to be signed in. This policy helps ensure the safety and accountability of all students.
We encourage all families to plan ahead to allow enough time for morning routines and traffic, so students can arrive at school ready to learn. Thank you for your cooperation and partnership in supporting our school community!
